Golden Girls

The LSU Golden Girls

Taking the field with the Tiger Band at LSU for the first time in 1959, the prestigious LSU Golden Girls represent the oldest and most established danceline on the LSU campus. The line consists of a very talented group of young ladies chosen each spring by a special audition. Membership is open to all students who are on campus, entering freshmen, or transfer students who have been accepted to LSU by the audition date. Students in college (including transfer students) must have a 2.0 grade-point average in order to audition for the line. Previous studio dance training is highly recommended. All students chosen for the LSU Golden Girls receive a scholarship of $1000.

The Golden Girls are one of the feature units with the LSU Tiger Band and perform for all home LSU football games, selected campus events, community outreach, and away games (including bowl games) with the full Tiger Band. In addition, they have made appearances at community events including the Bella Bowman Foundation, ARC Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the ALS Foundation. In 2011, the Golden Girls were invited by the Hong Kong tourism board to perform for the Chinese New Year Parade and Festival.

New members of the Golden Girls begin practice in the summer. During the fall, everyone practices with the Tiger Band Tuesday through Friday afternoons from 3:50-5:20 pm. They also meet on their own during the week as needed, generally Tuesday evenings. The Golden Girls also appear at the annual football signing day in the spring, as well as other LSU-oriented events. They do not compete, but they do receive class credit for participation on the line.
